Answer:
422.44 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A, B, X, and H represent the left-most observation point, the observation point to its right, the point immediately below the apex, and the height of the apex, respectively.
Then the definition of the cotangent function tells us ...
AX = H·cot(42°)
BX = H·cot(48.85°)
Since the figure tells us AB = 100 feet, we have ...
AB = AX -BX
100 = H·cot(42°) -H·cot(48.85°)
H = 100/(cot(42°) - cot(48.85°)) ≈ 422.44 . . . . ft
The current height of the pyramid is 422.44 feet.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the same everywhere, so an equation can be written making use of that fact.
Cross-multiplying gives ...
2(y -5) = x -2
2y -10 = x -2 . . . eliminate parentheses
2y = x +8 . . . . . . . add 10; next, divide by 2
